Dear Mr. Kelly:
At the request of Inspector in Charge Collaer at Port Missoula, the following information has been obtained "by this office by telephonic and telegraphic contacts concerning prices and delivery dates on fencing, and the same is furnished to you at Mr. Collaer1s request, with a copy hereof being forwarded to him at Fort Missoula:
SAIJ FRAITCISCO:
A telegram was received from Mr. Wixon that the Standard Fence Company of that city is prepared to deliver at Fort Missoula, f.o.b., within two weeks, 2900 lineal feet of six-gauge, two-inch mesh, wire chain link fence, ten feet high, at $1.35 per lineal foot.
The Cyclone Fence Company of Seattle (identical with the Standard Fence Company of San Francisco) telephones that its San Francisco office quotes prices identical with the above figures received from Mr. Wixon, and that it can make delivery in two weeks. The Seattle representative points out that this fencing is galvanized after weaving and that this process is far superior to that of galvanizing before weaving, because of the breaking of the galvanized coating in the weaving process, thus exposing the wire to rust, weather, etc.
A representative of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation, headquarters in Denver, Colorado, mill at Pueblo, Colorado, quotes the following prices on fencing, galvanizing before weaving: Eight-foot high fence, six-gauge,' two-inch mesh, 66^ per lineal foot; ten-foot high fence, six-gauge, two-inch mesh, 80^ per lineal foot. Fence made to order; job to be completed within four weeks after receipt of order. Another five days would be required for delivery at Fort Missoula. Prices are f.o.b., Fort Missoula.
